<!-- [DocumentBodyStart:01c7613c-fcc9-41d2-855c-a3fa65a1bbd9] --><div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hi,</p><p>I wonder if anybody can help? </p><p>I took the attched photographs a number of years ago in the New Forest and assumed that the subject was a giant puffball - I can't exactly remember the size, but think that it was at least 8-10 centimetres across. </p><p>I now wonder whether I've mis-identified it, though, as the books I'm checking show giant puffballs with a smooth, white surface, whereas my example is greyish in colour with fine, indented patterning. (I'm not too concerned about the colour, but haven't found reference in the books to the patterning).</p><p>Advice would be much appreciated.</p><p>Andrew </p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:01c7613c-fcc9-41d2-855c-a3fa65a1bbd9] -->Sun, 18 Aug 2013 15:42:11 GMThttp://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/message/33281?tstart=0#33281AndyW2013-08-18T15:42:11Z1 year, 7 months ago0
